The Heirloom Mixes

30 homemade mixes for the things you cannot replace. Mixes 190 through 219, carrying straight on from The Cleaning Bible.

Your mother's china. The quilt somebody sat and made. The christening gown three babies wore. The Bible with the names written in the front. The photographs.

Silver plate and how to tell it from sterling before you touch it, pewter, a gilt frame, china with a gold rim, crystal gone cloudy, a marble dresser top, pearls, a quilt that cannot go in the machine, yellowed lace, brown spots on linen, an old dresser, a leather Bible, and photographs in the album that is slowly eating them.

On these pages the NEVER ON line matters more than the mix. And on five of them the right answer is to leave it alone, and I say so plainly.
